"Peace to Pan-America."Although the time announced for thedeparture of the president from the homeof Mr. Milburn in Delaware avenue was10 o'clock, crowd* began to assemble infront of the house as early as 9 o'clock.A detail of police kept tne crowd backfrom the sidewalk In front o.f the house,but those most eager to catch a glimpseof the president and Mrs. McKinley indiscriminately invaded the beautiful lawuof the adjoining residences and some even [went so far as to climb upon the verandas.Promptly at 10 o'clock the presidentemerged from the home of Mr. Milburn.Mrs. McKinley accompanied him, walkingby his side without assistance.A Great Burst of Cheers.greeted them, which the president acknowledged by bowing and raising hishac. The president and Mrs. McKinleyt.niered the firsi carriage and Mr. Milburn,president of the exposition, and Mrs. William Hamlin of the board of women managcra th.2 second. An escort of twentymounted police and twenty members ofthe signal corps surrounded the two carriages and the cavalcade set out at abrisk trot for the Lincoln Parkway entrance to the exposition grounds. Thetwo carriages were followed by a numberof carriages and tally-hos, their occupantsblowing fanfares and adding animation tothe scene.At ihe entrance to the expositiongrounds the president was met by detachments of the United States marines andthe Sea Coast artillery and the Sixty-fifthand Seventy-fourth N. G. S. X. T., regiments under Gen. S. M. Welch.

The loss sofar is $50,000.There was a strong wind blowing acrossthe city and the fire brands were carriedin every direction, starting numerousblazes. The Brinzlow & Reinel Lumbercompany's yards were directly in the pathof the flames and at 1 o'clock there seemedlittle chance for it to escape.Volunteer firemen are making a hardfight to save the yards and surroundingplants, but the flames are gaining headway and it Is feared that the manufac-Turing section of the city will be wipedout, causing a tremendous loss.Still Spreading:.At 1:30 p. m., the flre had spread to theC. Stoppenbach packing plant and a largeoil tank located near the plant of theWisconsin Manufacturing company was indanger. The Methodist Episcopal churchhas been destroyed and nearly all thehouses in the district are on flre. Theloss at this writing will reach $150,000.Fire apparatus has been summoned fromJohnson's Creek and Fort Atkinson.Entire Town May Go.The Wisconsin Manufacturing company's loss is $150,000. The Prenzlow Lumber yard took flre and a southeast windcarried the flames over the city. The fire,however, in the yard was extinguishedwithout much loss, although it is stillconstantly threatened. The whole city isin the path of the fire and is in the greatest danger of being totally destroyed.The local fire department is workinglike demons, but can do very little towardchecking the flames. Outside help isnearly here. Eight blocks in the northwestern portion of the town are nowburning. The city hal caught fire, but theflames were soon extinguished.DOCK FIRELehigh Coal and Coke Company Loses Heavily atSuperior.Special to The Journal.West Superior, Wis., Sept. s.—Fire thismorning caused in the neighborhood of$60,000 damage to the dock of the LehighCoal and Coke company on St. Louis bay.The flames started about 12 o'clock andafter raging all the morning and thisafternoon were not out and it was notthought they would be finally subdued until to-night.The origin of the blaze is not known,but it is claimed the fire mlgnt havecaught from a box car that was standingon the track. The department had difficulty in getting to the center of the fireowing to the great distance out on thedock, and there was some delay in thearrival of the fire tugs, s& that it washard to fight the flames which increasedwith great rapidity.The dock was built up with pockets oneach side of a railroad track and in theneighborhood of 500 feet of these pocketson both sides were burned and are a total loss. The loading apparatus and boxcars were burned also. There were in theneighborhood of 200,000 tons of soft coalon the dock and fire caught in the outside of all of the piles of this coal. Withall this coal burning at once, it was difficult to do anything on account of thegreat territory over which the fire spread.Nine streams were kept on the flames.The damage to the coal cannot be estimated and the total estimate on the loss isas yet only a rough one. The dock andcoal were insured.RECIPROCITYWITH CANADAHard Problem for Congress atthe Next Session.FORMIDABLE OBSTACLESInfluences Opposed to Closer Relations With Our Neighbor.CUBAN TARIFF ALSO COMING UPBeet Sugar Industry of the UnitedStates In Involved In Thi»Uuettlou.. from The Journal Bureau. Boom AS. ■ JTeslBuilding, Wcuhington. *'Washington. Sept. 5.-^anadian and Cuban reciprocity, according to present opinion in official circles here, is sure toA GOOD HAUL.present great problems to the Fifty-Seventh congress and its consideration insome form cannot be long delayed afterthe meeting in December. The advantagesof freer trade with Canada are so manifest as to be beyond dispute, and the commercial bodies of New England are bestirring themselves none too soon to bring Itabout.Canada has quite as much to gain froma more liberal policy. Her slow growthduring the last decada for a new country,with railroads opening up fresh wheatfields in the west, for one possessed of aliberal government, and with protectionfrom all hostile encroachment by thestrong arm of Great Britain, is most surprising. Her heavy debt is not sufficientto account for it. Much of the explanation evidently lies in Canada's outskirtrelation to the United States. It is isa great agricultural country deprived ofits natural markets, for the bulkier products of the outskirts always gravitate towards the centers of population. In thesame way manufacturing, under modernconditions, could be done to much betteradvantage were the boundary line eithererased or softened. A wall paper manufacturer who was recently in Washington, doubtless described a condition common to many articles when he said thatthere should be no tariff on wall papergoing Into Canada, since its populationwas not large enough to justify homemanufacturers in bringing out the varietyof styles and patterns which were desirable. Their users of wall paper wouldprofit by the same free entry to the general American markets that the people ofFlorida or of Wyoming enjoy. This mustbe true or countless other articles on thebasis of "trust" economics is unsubstantiated.The American people, protectionists andfree traders, have too long rejoiced overthe enormous area in this symmetricalrepublic open to unrestricted commercenot to see the advantages to both sides ofthe Canadian line of a more liberal policy.Its advocates point out that there is nodifference hetween the wages and wageearners of Canada and those of the UnitedStates which is not exceeded by differences that already exist within our ownrepublic. The working white populationof the south is "cheaper labor" than thatof Canada; they subsist more economically, and are as a rule less civilized. Northern manufacturers are in open competitionwith this low-priced labor of the south,and yet no part of the country grew sorapidly in the last decade as the manufacturing cities of the northeast whichwere meeting this very competition.Plttsburg is a region of high-priced labor and Birmingham of low-priced andyet they are both doing business in thesame tariff area. In the light of such obvious facts they find it hard to understand the extreme alarm with which theegg-raiser and the hay-producer alongour Canadian line hears "reciprocity"I Con tinned on v Seventh.

The expulsion is one of the results of the Robbin3-McAlaff case recentlydecided in the Hennepin county courts.The cl\arge is fraud. The details, so faras they could be learned this afternoon,wer meagre. It seems that Walbridgofoisted a double burden upon commissionmen of the chamber, if the charges betrue. As the story is told hes hipped farmers' stored grain to the commieison menand then drew against it. The farmerslater showed up with a claim against thesame grain and the commission men hadto pay a second time.

Live Stock andDairy Day, with Its thousands of enthusiastic farmers and its wealth of exhibitsof Minnesota grown cattle and dairyproducts is one of the most important and the most successfuldays of the fair of 1901. Thewonderful Interest shown by Minnesota farmers in live stock, and especiallyin dairy and beef cattle, is a reliable indicator of the phenomenal progress Minnesota has made as a live stock and dairystate, and of progress yet to be made.Stock men of national prominence predictto-day that in the next decade the northstar state is to become one of the greatest stock raising states in the union.To-day enthusiasm pervaded the air.The farmer from Polk county praisedMinnesota stock and the possibilities ofthe state along with the officers of thetwo great associations represented here.The state fair management used this as amoral to adorn a tale. They pointed towhat the fair had done for Minnesota andclassed this as one of its big achievements. They pointed to the future —whatthe fair was doing to educate the Minnesota farmer in diversified farming.'"There are millions in it."So said Secretary Randall of the statefair association. Last year the association made Live Stock and Dairy Day oneof the great special days. The plan wassatisfactory. To-day's enthusiasm andattendance shows that the idea has"caught on." It could not be so unlessMinnesota farmers were becoming deeply interested in the breeding of highclass stock.The dream of James J. Hill and others,who in prophetic vision saw great thingsahead for Minnesota in stock and dairyproducts, is about to be realized. TheGreat Northern's president commencedthe work of educating the Minnesotafarmer as to the advantage of high-clasastock years ago. He spent much moneyon the idea. It is that same idea thatthe state fair association has taken up anddeveloped. Minnesota is heiress to millions as a result of that work.No Longer a One-Crop State.Within the memory of hundreds who attended the fair to-day, predictions weremade that Minnesota would never be morethan a one-crop state. They were wrong.Each year has added millions to herwealth by widening diversity of interests.Years ago the slow development of herstock and dairy interests began. To-daythese same interests produce millions ofrevenue.Large Numbers Were Out.Farmers made Live Stock and Dairy Daytheir special day. Large numbers werepresent from all over the northwest.Trains brought large crowds from northwestern points. A gratifying feature wasthe attendance of farmers from the Dakotas. They were interested in live stockand the products of the dairy. Largenumbers came from central and southernMinnesota. They flocked to the barnsto view the stock and were greatly takenwith the Hereford and Shorthorn exhibitsin the afternoon immediately following theHerefored sale. They went clear downthe line of exhibits including horses, swineand sheep. The Hereford sale of cattlewas continued during the morning.Evening programs are growing in popularity and a large crowd is expected towitness this evening's performance. Themanagement is well pleased with Pain's"Last Days of Pompeii."To-morrow St. Paul Day.To-morrow is St. Paul day. The residents of the capital city are making everypreparation to turn out a big crowd. Itwill be a holiday for St. Paul people, madeso by a proclamation by Mayor Smith.There will be a large number of people into see the fair from northwestern townsto-morrow and these, with the contributions of St. Paul and Minneapolis, oughtto make a big day. The big event of theday will be the 2:13 pace for the purse of$5,000 contributed by the business men ofSt. Paul. There were twenty-eight entries originally and it is thought thattwelve will start. In addition to thisthere will be the one-mile dash of speedyrunners.A UNITED MIDWAYFair Management to "Bunch" ThatFeature Next Year.Superintendent W. J.

Negotiations are already underway regarding the handling of next year'smidway. One of the big eastern concerns that makes a specialty of midwaycircuits is anxious to secure the Minnesotastate fair. The fair has now grown tosuch a size that these big concerns canafford to take it on. There is every probability that the change will be made andthat next year's midway will be the finestin the west except that of the world's fair.Superintendent Munro has ordered the"Gay Paris" tent down and that attraction has disappeared.The receipts of the department of privileges this year will be in the neighborhood of $8,000 about $2,000 better than lastyear.GREAT ATTENDANCETurn-StlleM Show 125,000 Visitorsfor Flrwt Four Days.By to-night the total attendance for thefirst four days of the fair will be in. theneighborhood of 125,000.
